Rider's words made sense. After all, Mercury Lamp was a passerby in a different world. Now that all transmigrators have been repatriated, her departure would only take a month at most.
Of course, it is possible that her world would never be discovered. There are countless worlds in the Endless Void that exist in corners that we are currently unable to explore, but the possibility of that is too small, almost negligible. It is almost impossible for such a distant world to transmigrate to this universe.
The occurrence of crossing over means that two worlds are getting closer, and two worlds that are close to each other can't escape our current space-time detection.
Moreover, Mercury Lamp is different from Chestnut and Poison Island. For this doll girl who survived by relying on her obsession, Rozen, who has been dead for who knows how many years (I firmly believe he is dead), has a special meaning. Even if she can't find that ginseng winner, Mercury Lamp will return to the world she once lived in. That's what she has been insisting on since she came here, and I'm afraid it hasn't changed even now.
According to this girl's personality, she probably won't be interested in the troublesome job of an inspector in the Space Administration. Vaguely, I already know what Mercury Lamp is conflicted about.
Even a wild bird will know to say goodbye after a few days. Mercury Lamp knows that the day of her departure is approaching, so she suddenly became so clingy recently?
That's not like her personality …
"Don't underestimate my woman's intuition and your affinity," Sister R said in a serious tone. She rolled the PDA X in her hand into a powerful paper tube and slapped it on her palm, "I believe that anyone who is around you will quickly develop a dependence on you. If you suddenly have to leave, no one will be willing to part with you, not only Mercury Lamp, but all of us."
Are you referring to the daddy aura? Is it effective on an older sister like you? Is it effective on Uncle B? Is it effective on Red A, that sultry man? The nature of the aura has completely changed!
Unfortunately, Rider has returned to the game world and turned a blind eye to my ridiculing expression.
You can drown in the field of triple-jumps and side-scrolling!
However, Rider's words regarding the mercury lamp still caught my attention for a long period of time. It lasted for about an hour, all the way until I reached home. Then, I was completely dumbfounded by an even more impactful and confusing matter.
"Poison — Island — Son! What the hell are you doing! "
After coming out of the Shadow City and entering my living room, that was the first thing I said: using a high octave voice.
Standing in front of him was Maid Number Two, a female high school student with purple hair. She merely smiled faintly in the face of the master's horror, and then bowed appropriately. "Welcome home, Master. Also, as a member of the royal family, please maintain your manners at all times."
Elegance my ass! Anveena, explain it to me!
"Master, I will definitely complete my mission well and work hard to make Poison Island an outstanding maid." Anveena placed her hands on her abdomen and a bright smile bloomed on her face. "Although Anveena is far from the standards of a perfect maid … Anveena will work hard!"
At the end of her words, this simple-minded maid waved her weak fists forcefully, putting on a posture of working hard.
Beside her, dressed in a black miniskirt-style maid outfit similar to Anveena's, except for the lack of a decorative coat of arms (Anveena's maid outfit has the Empire's Cross Emblem that Alaya helped to engrave on it. I am always annoyed at such boring arcane techniques), imitating the former's posture, is … Poison Island Chestnut.
Poison Island Chestnut in maid mode.
Anveena, you idiot! Simple-Minded! Dumb crow! Cold light tube! Work hard my ass! You know what I am conflicted about, right? My home is already shaking every day, do you want to turn this place into the army's frontline?
"Oh … So this is the method Chestnut of Poison Island mentioned, the method of thanking me." Lin Xue, who was curled up like a lazy cat on the sofa on the south side of the living room, said without lifting her head. "I was shocked at first, blockhead, I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby. Speaking of which, do I need to dress like this tomorrow to satisfy you? Do you like black or white stockings? Poison Island is black! … "
"Just watch the TV and don't interrupt! Don't you know that freeloading has no human rights?! " I called out from afar, then looked at Poison Island gloomily. "Tell me the truth, are you really not here to cause trouble?"
"It really hurts to be said like that," Chestnut immediately let out an exaggerated sigh, "I only wish to use my own method to repay your kindness. Compared to you, I have no power, no knowledge (I'm sorry, I don't either), and even less experience (I'm sorry, I still don't). I'm practically a useless person, but I don't want to become a burden for you to support, so …"
So you decided to sell yourself … Ugh, to become a maid? Speaking of which, where did you get the inspiration from! I don't believe in using one's body to repay kindness ever since sister Jinlian!
Ah, there was something suspicious that sneaked in just now …
Chestnut of Poison Island's sudden action not only shocked me, it also stunned Shallow Shallow and the others — — To be able to stun Shallow Shallow, from a certain point of view, Poison Island is also a strong person. The group of beauties in the house naturally had all sorts of … spectating attitudes towards this maid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Since they knew what type of person I was, they naturally wouldn't be like Lin Xue and say that this was a scheme that had been planned by some perverted blockhead for a long time. These bored onlookers came to a consensus: Let's just ignore Anveena, who is an outsider maid. What can a normal girl like Poison Island do when it comes to household chores?
I have to say, this is an extremely terrible bad taste, but I don't dare to deny it — — the one who started this bad taste is my elder sister.
"Ah Jun, let Chestnut try," Wearing her usual gentle smile, my elder sister lies on the sofa and raises her head to look at us. "It just so happens that Anveena has always been the only one working at home. It would be good for her to have another helper."
Are you sure that a terrifying outsider maid like Anveena would lack such a helper?
However, I also know how stubborn Chestnut of Poison Island can be after she has made up her mind on something. She won't be willing to become a 'burden' that we protect. Just like what she said, this strong and independent girl wants to use her own method to 'pay' for her current life. And since it is my elder sister's idea …
I nod my head and turn towards Poison Island. "Then let's do it this way. Since Chestnut is so insistent, you can follow Anveena to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the house. However, you will only be helping out with the housework. As for the maid … Cough cough, I mean, maid or whatever, you can forget about it …"
Although the maid version of Poison Island Chestnut is filled with all kinds of moe points, I am afraid that if Sandora gets jealous, she will suddenly prepare some high-calorie dishes for me. That will definitely kill me. Regardless of whether I eat it or not, I will still die.
However, it is a pity that I underestimated Poison Island's stubbornness. Strictly speaking, I underestimated Anveena's dedication to her "career as a maid". My words are completely ignored. Regardless of whether it is Poison Island Chestnut or her "master" Anveena, both of them are already immersed in the work of teaching the new maid, unable to extricate themselves.
The result is surprising. My elder sister, me, Lin Xue, and even Sandora are all surprised.
Cleaning, full marks – erase all of Little Bubble's graffiti on the wall outside the door within twenty minutes.
Tidying up, full marks – tidy up all of the toys scattered all over Little Bubble's room to the satisfaction of the little princess within fifteen minutes.
Etiquette and tea ceremony, full marks – I don't understand these things at all. The one who gives the full marks is Sandora.
Cooking, full marks – I am doubtful about these points because the one in charge of tasting and giving the scores is Sandora. Sandora is a person who will show you anything on the periodic table. I am very doubtful about the level of the food she eats. However, according to my standards, eighty or ninety is not a problem.
I couldn't tell at all that Poison Island Chestnut is actually so valiant when it comes to housework. By the standards of a high school girl, she has already broken through the heavens. In this day and age, girls who don't even know how to wash after opening their mouths to eat are a common sight. Even so, Miss Lin's current best cooking is still Master Kang. Of course, Sandora's high-energy cooking is another form of art that we won't discuss.
Thus, it can be seen just how unique the gentle and virtuous Poison Island Chestnut who is skilled at housework is. At first, I thought that she was just a mascot to be shaken … It can't be helped, there aren't many things that left an impression on me in the original work.
Of course, what needs to be mentioned here is that the full marks mentioned above are based on human standards. When Poison Island Chestnut is a little complacent after obtaining a bunch of full marks, Anveena uses practical actions to show her the strength that a Legend-rank LV99 maid should possess — true full marks.
Cleaning, EX. She transforms herself into Holy Light Vibrating Body and glides across the wall. She cleans up all of Little Bubble's graffiti on the entire corridor, including the ion ink that can't be washed off in theory. It takes 0.3 seconds.
Tidying up, EX. She transforms herself into energy and becomes one with the room. At the same time, she makes use of the arcane telekinesis technique to place all of the toys in Little Bubble's Treasure Vault (Branch Vault 2) in the golden ratio position. It takes 0.6 seconds.
Etiquette and tea ceremony, EX. Although I don't understand anything at all, I feel that Anveena's attitude of being a maid in a rich family and receiving elite education from a young age is really amazing. Not only that, she even uses green foxtail grass that she plucked from god knows where to make it taste like Longjing tea and successfully dupes the genuine Miss Lin Xue (Little Specter, good job!).
Cooking, EX. Please allow me to worship this. If Sandora's high-energy cooking can make one see Liliana's brilliant smile on the other side of the river, then Anveena's tomato scrambled eggs can make Jack the Ripper stand at the entrance of the Garden of Eden with tears in his eyes as he listens "Hallelujah!". I believe that this is already a violation of the laws of physics, but … well, who cares.
"To become a qualified maid, you still have to work hard!"
After completing the feats that are even more terrifying than the Twelve Trials, our Head Maid Anveena, who is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, stands at the entrance of the living room without panting. She radiates boundless radiance as she speaks to Poison Island Chestnut who has already turned into a monument.
Her expression is just like Jesus Christ.
"I … I'm shocked …" Poison Island Chestnut looks at the shining head maid in front of her. This title is correct, right? There shouldn't be any problems with the brightness and the title. She mutters to herself. "So a maid is such a terrifying creature?"
No, such a terrifying maid can only be found in this world with this flashlight. Also, don't try to imitate it, unless you want to die once like this glowing body.
"Phew, these are the basic skills of a maid." The little ghost who has been promoted to head maid because there is finally a maid in the house seems to be unsatisfied. Licking her lips, this excited glowing body comforts Poison Island Chestnut who has been shocked to the point that she can't speak. "As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to master it. Then, there are the advanced skills of an ace maid. You can start practicing after you learn a thousand dishes. Hmm … maybe I can teach you a few skills in advance!"
Poison Island Chestnut raises her head blankly and looks at the glowing Anveena floating in the air, like a confused believer who has seen Jesus.
You don't say, Anveena's glowing form floating in the air really does have that feeling — God of Maids? Should I go back and discuss with Jingle to set up such a Divine Title in this universe?
"Hmm, advanced skills." Anveena nods her head forcefully and points at Poison Island Chestnut's eyes. "First, practice shooting death rays from your eyes!"
"Huh?" The mature and steady Poison Island is dumbfounded at this moment. Then, he looks at Anveena in disbelief as she performs her unique skill of peeling an apple with the light from her eyes.
I'm almost the same. This lively little ghost is definitely planning on doing all kinds of deviations, right?
"Next, you need to familiarize yourself with the ribbons on the back of the maid's uniform. You need to use them to launch a long-range attack from a hundred meters away. Then, there's weight training, gun assembly, driving, psychology, medicine, commanding, economics, hand-to-hand combat and all kinds of weapons. Finally, you need to transform into a magical girl. You can go to the City of Shadows' military academy to study all of these. But before that, you need to learn some basic skills. For example, you need to swing a 700kg hammer with one hand, charge at a speed of 300 miles per hour to deliver food to a master who forgot to bring a lunchbox, hide underwater for seven days and seven nights because of work, cross the Sahara Desert on foot because of work, help your master to quell a military riot because of work, and …"
"Chestnut," I suddenly pats Poison Island's shoulder heavily, freeing the girl from her petrified state. Then, I say earnestly, "Don't be a maid anymore. Learn how to drive a Gundam with Pandora. It's more efficient to save the world."
"Ugh …" Poison Island sneaks a glance at Anveena, who is in an inexplicable frenzied state. She shrunk her neck and says, "I think I can learn a thousand dishes by myself …"
Forget it, I don't care about these two fellows who have entered some kind of strange path. I feel like they are actually planning to create a Terminator.
"Idiot, the people around humans are really a bunch of idiots!"
A certain puppet who has been riding on my shoulder and watching the battle from start to finish gives a pertinent evaluation. It's so sad, I can't find any room to refute it.
I say, has this doll become my binding equipment? A piece of equipment called "Arcane Quicksilver Lamppatterned Plate Armor (Purple)" that was such a scam? Every day, when the kids are busy, I would carry Mercury Lamp on my shoulder, Little Bubble on my front, and the children's mother on my back. I would hold Pandora on my left hand, Visca on my right hand, and Jingle on my head while Shallow Shallow scratches his ears and cheeks. It's really a scam! If you didn't know better, you would think that I am wearing plate armor to fight against the Wings of Death!
"Hey, idiot human," Mercury Lamp suddenly knocks my head, "Bring me out tomorrow!"
"Huh?" I thought she had something important to say, I didn't expect her to make such a request.
"Ever since I came to this world, I have been moved from one big house to another, from the City of Shadows to another space, but I have never seen the outside of this house," Mercury Lamp hugs my head, her eyes drifting towards the bright sunlight outside the window, "I want to know, this world that I have randomly barged into, what is it like outside."
"Outside?" I ruffled my hair, "It is similar to your original world, and the North District of the City of Shadows is completely the same as the outside world …"
Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly understood.
Even if I stand outside the door, I would be satisfied to see the big house that I have lived in for a month, right?
"Alright, I will bring you out tomorrow," After a few seconds of silence, I extend my hand and rub Mercury Lamp's hair. This time, she didn't avoid it, nor did she protest, "Look at the picturesque landscape of K City — — But you have to be an obedient puppet, and most of the time, you will stay in your travel bag."
"Hmph!" Mercury Lamp immediately snorts in dissatisfaction, then she knocks my head, as though she is trying to hide something.
"Your Majesty, this is the Space-Time Management Center reporting to you."
A voice suddenly sounded in the communication link, interrupting my counterattack against Mercury Lamp's sudden attack. Shallow Shallow and the others were also stunned, obviously everyone received this signal. Sandora turned on the 3D imaging device hidden in the air of the living room, and immediately, the image of a person from the Empire wearing a white robe appeared in front of us.
"What happened?" I tried my best to calm down Mercury Lamp, who was wriggling on my shoulder, as I took the time to ask.
"Serial number WER421DF154E, commonly known as' Rose Maiden World 'has been discovered, the stable space-time tunnel will be established in 24 hours, we hope to know the exact time when Miss Mercury Lamp left."
The Shiring Apostles in the image were expressionless, just reporting their work to us as if it was a routine job.
The playful movements stopped in mid-air, and Mercury Lamp became unprecedentedly quiet.
"Shorty … You can go home now."
I was silent for a moment, then said quietly.
"… Mm."
